All SBF engines have the distributor in the front of the block. You are looking at the PCV valve hole.

No if you use a 5.0 explorer intake you have to use them as set lower and upper. The intake runners are different from the stock and the GT40.

If you say so since when is a pcv hole 1 in in diameter and I took out the hall effect from it?

I'm gonna try and be polite as possible.

A 302/5.0/SBF has never. EVER. and WILL NEVER. have a distributor in the back. Period. Good Lord, just the thought of it........

Yes the PVC hole is about 1 inch in diameter on 5.0 EFI manifolds because a large rubber grommet fits in the hole in which the pcv valve fits.

SBF intakes do not have distributor holes at all.

You didn't take a hall effect sensor out of the PVC hole. There is some confusion here.

the only thing you may have removed from it was a filter screen maybe.

This will not work you can not use a explorer upper with out switching the lower to the explorer also the intake runners are not the same shape or location here are some pics to show you the differance
